AIDS in the United States (Feb. 2, 2007): “In the US … more than half of all new [AIDS] cases reported each year are among African American individuals. ... This [is] a disturbing commentary on the social realities of racial politics and racism in the US. Called ‘the disease that doesn’t discriminate,’ AIDS is becoming emblematic of a society that, whether institutionally or irrationally, intentionally or inadvertently, does. The prevalence of AIDS in the black community in the US speaks to widely acknowledged deficiencies in the black population’s access to basic resources like education, health care, and sufficient employment. It has also been branded as a piercing reflection of political disenfranchisement and marginalization by mainstream society of poor blacks especially."
Gay Rights Following the Midterm Election (December 18, 2006): “... 45 states in total now have amendments or laws against gay marriages. Three states, Vermont, Connecticut, and just recently New Jersey, instated civil unions, and domestic partnerships are available in California, Maine, and Hawaii. The Human Rights Campaign [HRC] ... tallied the election of over two hundred ‘pro-equality’ candidates. HRC President Joe Solmonese observed that conservatives seemed to gain less headway in the polls by opposing gay initiatives than they’ve been able to before. Solmonese and colleagues have characterized this as a signal for [them] to take the gay agenda from defensive to proactive.”

AIDS discriminates? How do they get a pointy white hat small enough to fit on that tiny little virus?
WOW diversity. Poor Gay Black Aids, all in one post.
So, they are telling me that they have to be educated and told to keep it in their pants? But isn't the education system teaching everyone to take it out of their pants? Wouldn't that inicate that they are highly educated?
-this liberalism stuff is so confusing..
So, a better paying job prevents AIDS? Interesting...
last I heard, they weren't allowed to teach kids (of ANY color) to keep it in their pants..that's called abstinence and it's intolerable to teach or discuss in the classroom..
In the District of Columbia, the percentage of HIV/Positive adults outranks 24 sub-Saharan countries. That, according to the Whitman-Walker Clinic in DC.
What is says is that the black population in America has been allied to a welfare state mentality that expects the government to answer every problem.
Since the beginning of the so-called "Great Society" out of wedlock births in the black community, for example, have skyrocketed. The illegitimate birth rate in DC is over 70%.
More government programs and government funds will not solve this problem.
Witness DC. It should be a shining example of how well meaning government largess has turned our nation's capital into a Shangri-La. But instead, it is a seething, simmering pot of lawlessness, immorality and depravity.
If you have the mindset the says "the more children I have by the greatest number of women makes me a bigger man" the greater chance you have of catching or spreading AIDS.
This is the same problem that is occurring in Africa, its a cultural problem and blaming it on the "Man" won't cure it.
Only REAL MEN and WOMEN can stop this problem.
Don't forget licorice, first black candy.
The rate of AIDS in the present demographic of the African-American population can probably be equated to the rate of single-parent, female heads-of-household in the African-American community and the rate at which young African-American males do not marry, settle down and become stable fathers and devoted husbands.
Both of those rates can probably be related to a residual of liberal welfare policies that were only finally pushed aside a decade ago. Just because those policies have been reduced, they did not immediately send all welfare-client, single-parent, female heads-of-household to the alter, or bring father figures into their sons lives. It will probably take another generation to re-build the African-American families whose destruction was aided by liberal "compassion" of the 50s, 60s and 70s.
Until then, the larger-than-other-groups quotient of unattached, single, adult, 18-30, African-American males will continue to add to the health risks in the "African-American community".
I am not excusing their behavior, which on its own could vastly reduce the incidence of AIDS, regardless of their marital status. But, it is that demographic, the single, unattached, adult African-American male from which the health problems of AIDS is the highest, and its cause is in the social dynamic of that group, and their behavior, and not because "the nation" cares less about them.
The "national" error was in the liberal programs that helped produce the communities in which such a large portion of single, adult, unattached men were obtained.
Or is it that they have better access to one (or two) more things than whites do.
Should I feel discriminated against?
OOOOOOOOOK.............I guess that because they can't keep their pants zipped up and their panty hose on, we need to blame America. That should show the level of education people have.
Hell no they can't discuss keeping it in their pants. If they did that, they couldn't have sex with the kids. Geeeezzzzz....you gotta pay attention here. The NEA is becoming a big sex school.
"The prevalence of AIDS in the black community in the US speaks to widely acknowledged deficiencies in the black population’s access to basic resources like education, health care, and sufficient employment."
Should read, "The prevalence of AIDS in the black community in the US speaks to widely acknowledged deficiencies in the black population’s incapability to keep their pants on and zipped."
The LARGEST, EASIEST PREVENTABLE disease on the planet and this article blames it on racism. What a f**king joke.
When they talk about the black population, are they including the refugees from Africa, such as the Somalis who probably bring the disease in with them? This would bump the numbers up.
I was reading yesterday where a reporter is of mixed background..she was referred to as a..get ready for this..a "cuban-irish-american"..
I guess I can start referring to myself as a "czech-slovak-scots-irish-american" and claim a minority status..wait, I'm a white guy..I can only be caucasian..
'Scuse me while I finish barfing from this crap.
Blacks, gays, poor, whatever, all have access to education in this country that (at a bare minimum) will teach them to read a cue card that says "You want fries with that?" If they make a choice not to read, see, or hear anything about AIDs because it interrupts their All-Sports-All-American-Idol-All-The-Time-Dumbing-Down network, that is neither racist nor anyone's fault but their own.
